Review : With a winner
in the form of story, Vijay in the company of Prabhudeva has
come out with an action-packed entertainer.
With typical 'Vijayisms' (action, humor and punch dialogues)
finding a place at right intervals, he steals the show and
his charm is spread all through the movie. The life and
blood of the movie, the actor charms the audience in dance
and stunt sequences. His characterization, though not
unfamiliar to the film-buffs, is made interesting by
director Prabhudeva as he has let Vijay to be himself on the
screen.
Prabhudeva and Vijay leave their magical presence especially
in the dance sequences. Both proven dancers, the
choreography for the peppy songs are entertaining and
attractive.
 Asin
is attractive and plays a typical heroine falling in love
with a macho-man. She does have the opportunity to shake her
legs with Vijay. Prakash Raj as the notorious Don Alibhai
does his usual stuff. But such a powerful mafia don is
projected in comical style in the second half.
Nepolean plays an honest police commissioner in the hunt of
criminals. Vadivelu evokes laughter with his comedy. He
succeeds in tickling the funny bone.
Thamizh (Vijay) is a hardcore criminal, who can do anything
for money and also change loyalties for currency. He falls
in love with Sruthy (Asin) and love is the immediate
offspring between the two.
 A
villainous cop attracted by Sruthy threatens her mother to
end her daughter with him. Enters Thamizh as savior for
Sruthy and her family.
Thamizh works for an underworld gang and he soon rises in
the ras for his bravery and never-say-die attitude. His boss
and an international don Alibhai (Prakash Raj) arrives from
abroad only to caught by the Tamilnadu police.
An honest cop Mohideen Khan (Nepolean) investigating the
cases of Alibhai is blackmailed by Ali's men. What happens
next and how the Thamizh nails the coffin for Alibha and his
men forms the climax.
Stunts by Vijayan are another attraction of the movie. The
chasing sequences have been captured well by Nirav Shah's
lens. Srikar Prasadh's editing is crisp with fast-paced
cuts.
Pokkri is a sweet Pongal treat for Vijay fans.
